Part Tres: My Sculptural Journey Continues

 

My sculptural portfolio broadened even more when I participated in an all sculptural class at Corning Museum of Glass.  The instructor was Loren Stump and the focus was on faces.  I was way in over my head but loved every minute of this class. 

 

After class I did not rush home and create beads with faces.  It actually took about six months before creating a face bead.  Here is a picture of my first face bead after class:

 

From the granite looking lioness I went on to create lions, tigers, and wolves.  Faces are the hardest to create…one extra flash of fire will contort a face in no time.  Here are some examples:

 

More later.
